Shame is a deeply problematic emotion that causes much trouble and pain in our lives, interrupting our immediate mode of being in the world and making us feel bad about who we are. Nevertheless, we use it in many contexts to discipline others, impede personal development, regulate participation in communities, and instil in others commonly accepted norms and values. All these uses of shame suggest to some that it is a phenomenon with positive attributes, despite its darker sides. Many who study shame do so from the vantage point of a single scholarly discipline. This book is an exception. Its authors approach shame from multiple perspectives, seeking a more nuanced picture of its various roles in human life and its impact on social interaction. This book explores shame from an interdisciplinary perspective that looks into psychology, philosophy, evolutionary theory, theology and religious studies, and moral theory. The theoretical insights are then applied to understand shame's workings in relation to embodiment, religion, and morality. Hence, Shame's Unwelcome Interruption and Responsive Movements. Body, Religion, Morality - an Interdisciplinary Study will be of value to anyone who is interested in approaching shame from a comprehensive, scholarly perspective.

Comment une réputation se fait-elle ou se défait-elle ? Les raisons d'un anonymat prolongé ou d'une célébrité fulgurante, de la dégradation ou de l'amélioration de notre image, la plupart du temps nous échappent. Pourtant, la réputation traverse de part en part nos vies. D'un côté, nous nous soucions tant de notre propre image qu'il nous arrive de commettre des actes inconsidérés dans le vain espoir de maîtriser l'opinion que les autres ont de nous. D'un autre côté, nous nous fions nous-mêmes tant à la réputation des autres que nous pouvons être amenés à choisir sur sa seule foi un médecin, un élu politique, un journal, voire à adopter une idée. C'est que la réputation touche au plus intime de notre existence. Or cette notion essentielle a été étrangement négligée par les sciences sociales, qui n'ont longtemps vu en elle que le vestige d'une société traditionnelle et anti-individualiste où la fama, l'honneur et la lutte pour le prestige jouaient un rôle central que la modernité n'a eu de cesse de démanteler. Jamais pourtant la réputation n'a été plus cruciale que dans nos sociétés contemporaines.
